Heavy Duty Velcro?
 
I cannot seem to find this stuff. It is the type that is hard plastic "fingers" on both sides that almost "click" into each other. It does not have a fuzzy side. Both sides appear to be the same, and it is adhesive backed. Any links would be handy, or maybe who sells it. I have a few hardware stores in the area and a lowes/home depot. Have not found it yet though...

Looks like the stuff, thanks for the link!

Anyone have any experience with this stuff. I used a few 2nd hand pieces to hold a receiver on and it worked great. I only want to use it for receivers and becs. Anything heavier than that gets double stick and zipties!

I bought something that fits that description a couple of years ago from Target, I never used it, I use velcro I bought from Homedepot

Me and my brother uses velcro that looksl like what you describe.

It can hold a ubec and recevier without any problem. I even use it on my mamba max but that has gotten loose a couple of times!

It so strong that I can lift my car just holding the velcroed receiver!

Here is a pic http://smail.dyndns.org/album/?cwd=R...D=15&size=orig.

I live in Sweden though so I cant help you find it in the states :(

I have used a velcro like that before. I bought it at the local craft store. Check there first.:wink:

Homedepot/ lowes have that stuff - My only comment was I found it so strong it effectively became servo tape. The velcro bond is stronger almost that the adhesive bond so I went back to regular strong velcro...

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with the EZ-Pass system on the New York State Toll roads (and surrounding toll roads), but they use that stuff to stick a little (several oz maybe?) radio transmitter box onto the windshield so you can go through an automated toll lane at the toll booths.
I have had these things in my cars for almost 10 years now, and not once have I seen it fall off (plenty of pot holes in Upstate NY too). So, as long as the object isn't heavy (or in a servo's case try to exert a force while staying stationary) it should work out fine.

it is called 3M DUAL LOCK and there are several versions with different density

Many thanks for the info guys. I will try and find the 3m dual lock on my travels around town.
